cleveIand's Excursion Train.

WILMINGTON, Del, Sept. 29.-The
special train which is to carry President
Cleveland and party on their Western
trip is now being made ready in the Pull
man car shops in this city. The train is
made up of three cars, the first two being
simply a section of the extra Pullman
vestibuled train which is known as the
New York and Chicago limited" on tho
Pennsylvania railroad, the third car being
MIR. Pullman's " private car, the p.
T. T." The first car, the "Alferatta, :"
is what is known as q composite" car,
the forward end being used as a baggage
room. Next to this is as elegant and we'll
appointed a library as would be found in
any private house. A bath room and
BARRIERS shop are also in this car. The
second car is the "Velasco," which
will be occupied by the presidents
party. 1t is built upon the latest
and most approved model, with drawing
rooms and all the conveniences. The 'P.
7. g." which will be the last car on the
train, will be devoted exclusively to the
use of the president and Mrs. Cleveland.
1t has done similar service for Gen. Grant
and his family during his administration,
and has frequently been used by dis
tingulshed foreigners for trips through
this country. as well as of President Ar
thur, Peter Cooper and other Americans
of prominence.
The p. p. G. was built by Mr.. Pullman
some twelve years ago, and while it is by
no means the Aladdin's palace on wheels,
which is frequently described by imagin-
alive and mendacious reporters, it Is a car
in which luxury and rare good taste have
been happily combined. The car is being
refinished on the outside in the standard
Pullman %colors, olive and gold, and the
inside finish is of the com
b~ination type, so called be-
cause several different woods are used for
the interior decoration. The rear end of
this car is used as an observation room,
and through its broad plate glass win
dows an excellent view of the scenery can
be obtained. This apartment is luxuri-
ously furnished in mahogany and uphol-
stored in blue glass plush. Next to this
are the sleeping and dressing rooms.
which will be occupied by President and
Mrs. Cleveland. They are daintily fur
nished in white satin wood, with q large
folding bed and all the latest conveniences.
The main saloon, which will be used as a
dining room, is handsomely furnished in
oak, with an old gold carpet and uphol
stery of rich terra Gotta silk plush. A
fine parlor organ and writing desk are
built in at one end. The forward end of
the car is occupied by the kitchen, which
is furnished in walnut, and contains every
convenience which the heart of the most
accomplished chef could desire.

Philadelphia Presbyterfans Off.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 29.-The pres
ence OF Cardinal Gibbons at the constitu-
tional centennial services in Independence
square on Saturday a week ago has stirred
up a bitter feeling among the Pressyter
ians of this city, if the Presbyterian Jour
nal is a fair exponent of their opinions.
Last week it contained several criticisms
upon the centennial commissioners for in
vitiDg the cardinal. John A. Kasson,
now at his home in Iowa. as president of
the commission, replied to the article in
an interview. He SAID the commission
avoided any semblance of partisanship,
either religious or polit cal. in Its arrange
ments, and that Cardinal Gibbons was
invited as the head of the largest body of
Christians in the United States. The
Presbyt ridn Journal. which will be is
sued to morrow. will devote two pages to
answering Kasson' 5 reasons why Cardinal
Gibbons was invit ID to offer the closing
prayer at the centennial exercises. The
article concludes with these words:
We confess our Protestant blood boils
over at this. Mr.. Kasson and other
Protestants who were on the commission
had no right to sell out and humiliate
this Protestant city and this Protestant
nation. If they were hood winked or act.
ed from ecclesiastical ignorance, they
should confess their error"

WASHINGTON. Sept. 29.-Commis-
sioner Oberly, of the civil service COM
mission, was invited by q political associ.
alton Of clerks, known as the Illinois
Democratic Association, to address their
meeting this morning. Mr.. Oberly re-
piled to the invitation at great length,
saying hat he could not accept the invi-
tation without violating his official Jbliga
ton. The civil service act was for the
purpose of providing a non partisan ser
vice. No officer charged with its exccu-
ton can be effective in the discharge of
that duty if, by active participation in
party politics, he destroys the confidence
put in his fairness and impartiality.
